xxv. human puppets

A breath taken in of unsurpassed purity

a draught let loose, unfit, tarnished and defiled

a step stridden past in unrivalled dignity,

a distinct heart beat of divinity's own child.

A human is defined by such trifling mechanism

of two dirigible edifices within a mundane man,

of a throbbing, muscular and incessant bosom

of sanguine veins ferrying, since sentience began.

And a woken mind riddled with thoughts galore,

a human is merely an imprisoned creature

within a mortal cage of uproarious furore

behind bars of ivory, a blanched skeletal feature.

We are frail and mere governable puppets,

sentiment being the enduring thread of betrayal

destiny, the callous controller of marionettes

and we, of this abysmal truth, are in eternal denial.
